Acts 6:1-7 - When Conflict Becomes and Opportunity

Daily Living For Christ

In this episode, we see how conflict becomes the means by which God selected people for the work of the ministry. How do you view conflict? Do you see it as a threat or an opportunity for God to show up on your behalf? I also want to point out upfront that the answer to the conflict was not found outside the church. The answer was standing by, waiting for the appointed time to be recognized. What does all this mean for you?

In November of 2022, during one of the episodes, the Holy Spirit pressed upon me to lead an in-depth study of the Book of Acts, so here we are, obedient and ready to see a move of God. The Book of Acts is the genesis of the church, and it is the second installment in Luke’s history of the ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ resurrection and ascension inaugurated a new era of God at work from within His people and through His people.

Kris Vallotton’s book Spiritual Intelligence mentions a concept called "the principle of the first mention.” “This principle states that the first time you hear information about any subject, it becomes the way in which you view that topic from that point on. In other words, the information you receive first about something creates a lens by which you view that subject. Everything you hear or experience after the first exposure to that topic will be processed through the information you receive first. This creates several concerns, the primary concern being the unhealthy dynamic that occurs when "first mention" information is wrong or inaccurate."
I believe this is the reason I was led to study the Book of Acts in November. The Holy Spirit desires to renew our minds (Rom 12:2) to the church’s beginning so that He can create a new lens through which believers view the church. Are you ready to see the church as it was in the beginning? The Holy Spirit is inviting you to join this study.
